You are exactly correct. We are teaching are kids to be terrified of guns and that shouldn't be how it is. Toy guns have been a part of our childhood memories since World War II. Plus, toy guns are a great way of teaching our kids gun safety! There should be nothing wrong with cap guns or airsoft guns for children at the appropriate ages.  YES! You are exactly correct.

My son failed an English essay in 5th grade. When I asked the teacher what the problem was, she said he REFUSED to write a class assigned essay. I asked what the essay was about, and she responded ( sheepishly) that it had to do with the book "My Side of the Mountain". I am well familiar with the book and loved reading it as a youth. After some wrangling, I found out that the essay was supposed to start out thus: The last time I wanted to run away from home I. . . . If your children are in public school you will see a lot of essays where the curriculum GIVES the theme of the essay, and it is VERY OFTEN unsavory. The themes seem to always lead to a negative response. When I asked her why she thought that the theme of the book was running away from home and not the character's survival in the woods, she could not answer. I told her that was as dumb as thinking the theme of Swiss Family Robinson is the ship wreck and not the journal of the family's survival. She had no answer. The school had approved the essay in their curriculum. (Can you say- government digging into areas they have no right to delve)? We soon found over a very short period how esoteric and full of psycho babble our little public school was. My son wrote one sentence. "I have NEVER thought of running away from home because I love my Family, and would miss them". She failed him, after numerous other weird incidents, we pulled him from public school and home schooled him and his two younger brothers. That was 20 years ago. This NOT new.

If you child is arrested, now he/she has a record. "A juvenile brandishing a weapon" does not look good if their law abiding parent tries to buy a gun. Are you following me?  No one has said this but does it make sense in the crazy world we live in? I hope I am so wrong.  God bless our kids. I just had this thought.

However, when I was teaching several years ago, I not only explained to children on the playground that they must not fight, but also, they should make an effort to avoid pointing their finger at someone when they are angry, because if they do it as an adult they can be arrested for assault. Finger pointing is the step right before violence occurs [as is waving arms around wildly], so for good civil relations in life, good manners are taught and encouraged WITH intelligent explanations.  expelling young children for idiotic things has got to stop.

I have a granddaughter in first grade and they voted in school during the election. She voted for Romney and many of her friends as well as the teacher voted for Obama. Three of her friends said they were not her friend anymore because she voted for Romney and that Obama loved them(black kids) and Romney was poop. She was so upset so she told the kids that Obama let four people die in Libya because he said "stand down". Yes, she hears Fox News in the evening sometimes...better than what she is learning in school. The teacher(black) heard the conversation and called her up front and said she didn't know what she was talking about because Obama would never hurt anyone. My daughter was furious and went to the school board. The teacher was also reading books the whole week of the election and week after about Obama. She is pretty much teaching them NWO in so many words too, but the school board said she was staying pretty much on the curriculum. We hate to pull her out of the school now because she well exceeds her grade level and she still loves her teacher and friends but said they just don't know what Obama is doing to this country. Maybe she will teach them something. She knows more about how the government works and what is going on than most liberals. Her teacher has a huge poster of Obama behind her desk. That really was insulting and confusing when they voted with many voting for Romney. I as a grandmother am so sick of this mess. Obama is doing to this country and our children exactly what he wants....destroying the future of both. I know what you are feeling, believe me.
